Romibo Robot Project

Concept: Romibo is a pet-like social robot designed for therapy, education and fun!

The Romibo Robot Project is a collaboration between robotics researchers and people like YOU in the user community. Together we are co-developing a therapeutic robot for children with physical and developmental disabilities. Romibo’s educational and fun features support robot therapy research while providing tandem value to the general public. Building Romibo and contributing your ideas and experiences will help to improve the lives of others.
